This major research project had four principle goals: to establish the succession to Domesday fees, to establish the provenance (Norman or other, including English) of the first fee-holder, and to provide a prosopographical register of all persons occurring in English administrative documents written in the century after the Norman Conquest. The full Latin texts of over 4000 documents are included in the database and integrally linked to analysis about over the 9000 persons, and their families, who occur in them. Query and search facilites make easy work of finding, cross-referencing and interrogating a wealth of detail, as do visual aids such as dynamic family trees.
